Based off of the table name and stack trace, that is not an SQL query, but an MSI query. I would bet that the MSI database Q:\PCUSOURCE\1033_ENU_LP\x86\setup\x86\sqlncli.msi is corrupt. Try opening it with Orca, or just replace it from known good installation media and try again.

If Q: is a mapped drive, there could have been a network issue during the read operation. Copying local may rule out such issues.

For reference 0x80004005 translates to the incredibly helpful "The operation failed."
